Who should take this course?

No prerequisites

This series is designed for Ayurvedic students, professionals and enthusiasts. There is no prerequisite to join, though we recommend a foundation in Ayurvedic principles (like our Principles of Ayurveda all online course) to support your comprehension of the material.

If you are new to Ayurveda, this series will set a stellar foundation for your studies. We recommend starting from the beginning: Part 1 – The Quest for Longevity: Foundational Principles of Ayurveda.

If you have already commenced your studies in Ayurveda, journeying into the root text will allow you to further immerse yourself and become truly outstanding in the field.

Student stories

"Vaidya. J’s words are like sitting in a Gurukul, listening to an Upanishad, from a Rishi. They are so inspiring. So blessed."
Ashtanga Hridayam Student

"Vaidya. J is able to breathe in an incredible liveliness into any the classroom experience. What I really enjoy about his classes is his unique ability to show the same subject matter from many different angles: if you don’t see the subject from one side (due to your own particular way of perceiving things), he will find a way to illuminate for you from the other side."

"Vaidya. J is a true Vaidya. What makes him an especially effective teacher is that he takes great effort to bridge the obvious cultural divide that exists between India and North America. It’s tough, but he does it with ease!"
